Tech manufacturer lands £30m funding line
Lincolnshire technology manufacturer, myenergi, has landed a £30m funding package from HSBC UK to support the development and production of smart home energy products.
This investment will be used to expand the company’s operations, enhance its production capabilities and invest in research and development to create new products, including electric vehicle chargers and batteries for storing energy.
Myenergi’s success has led to its rapid growth and expansion, with the firm being a market leader in the UK and having a significant international export business. The business has also been identified as one of the UK’s 10 fastest-growing private companies with an average annual turnover growth of more than 180% over the past three years.
Lee Sutton, myenergi co-founder, and chief executive, said: “The new financing facility from HSBC UK will enable us to further accelerate our growth and innovation in smart home technology.
“Over the last four years, HSBC has supported the business with various financial solutions to facilitate our ever-increasing growth. The introduction of the new funding facility will enable us to accelerate our business development strategy and support us in the next chapter of our amazing journey.”
Frances Howell, MD, head of corporate Midlands at HSBC UK, added: “myenergi is a great example of a British business that is leading the way in developing smart home technology, helping people make the transition to renewable energy in their homes. This deal will allow the development of new green technologies, optimising renewable energy usage to create eco smart homes while putting British manufacturing back on the world stage.”
Founded in 2016 by Lee Sutton and Jordan Brompton, myenergi has grown to almost 450 employees, and annual sales last year broke the £50m barrier. Myenergi’s headquarters in Stallingborough is currently undergoing a major transformation, with a new 65,000 sq ft production facility under construction to expand capacity to meet demand.
